How to Make Soy Sauce Marinade

In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and black pepper until the sugar is dissolved.
Add the beef or pork to a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it's evenly coated.
Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, for optimal flavor.
Preheat your grill or broiler. Remove the meat from the marinade (discard the used marinade).
Grill or broil the meat to your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches a safe internal temperature.
Let the meat rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
